HE  AMERICAN  METROPOLIS— 


1  Wonderfully  attractive  at  all  times 
and  in  all  seasons,  it  is  during  the  winter 
months,  especially,  that  New  York  reaches 
the  acme  of  her  charms,  and  exhibits  her 
many  phases  most  advantageously  to  the 
stranger. 

The  winter  climate  of  New  York  pos- 
sesses the  fascination  of  the  ideal  Canadian 
winter  in  sparkling  ice  and  snow  effects, 
but  without  the  extreme  rigors  of  the 
northern  season.  Walking  and  driving  are 
constant  delights  in  the  clear  bracing  air, 
and  so  even  is  the  temperature  that,  as  a 
rule,  ordinary  winter  clothing  is  sufficient 
for  warmth  and  not  too  heavy  for  comfort. 

The  streets  and  avenues  of  New  York 
form  a  constant  and  ever  interesting  pano- 
rama. The  principal  thoroughfares  in  the 
downtown  residence  and  shopping  district 
are  Broadway,  Fifth  and  Sixth  Avenues  ; 
further  downtown  in  the  great  business 
centre,  Broadway  is  still  the  main  artery, 
branching  from  which  are  Wall  and  Broad 
Streets,  where  the  great  financial  and  bank- 
ing institutions  are  located  ;  Fulton,  Canal 
and  a  host  of  other  well-known  streets 
devoted  to  wholesale  trade  ;  while  in  the 
uptown  fashionable  residence  district  the 
leading  thoroughfares  are  Fifth  Avenue, 
Central  Park  West,  the  Boulevard  and 
Riverside  Drive. 

One  may  walk  or  drive  for  many  miles 
in  the  city's  magnificent  parks  and  admire 


4  NEW  YORK  AS  A  WIMKK  RESORT. 

the  beautiful  scenery,  or  the  thousand  and 
one  objects  encountered  at  every  turn  to 
interest  or  amuse.  Central  Park  has  two 
large  lakes,  on  which  skating  is  permitted 
during  the  season,  without  any  charge  what- 
ever. Van  Cortlandt  and  Crotona  Parks 
also  have  fine  lakes  for  skating,  and  at  each 
of  these  places  every  possible  facility  is  pro- 
vided for  the  convenience  of  skaters  and 
visitors.  Sleighing  is  also  a  popular  winter 
amusement  in  New  York,  and  all  the  city 
is  ajingle  with  merry  sleigh  bells  as  long  as 
snow  lasts. 


CENTRAL  PARK  LAKE. 

It  is  manifestly  impossible  in  these  few 
pages  to  give  anything  like  a  description  of 
New  York,  or  even  glance  at  half  the  feat- 
ures of  this  wonderful  city  ;  we  shall  only 
attempt,  therefore,  to  point  out  a  few  of  the 
most  striking  and  unique  attractions  of  the 
metropolis,  with  a  suggestion  here  and  there 
that  may  aid  you  in  disposing  of  your  time 
to  the  best  advantage.  The  map  in  the 
front  of  this  book  has  been  expressly  made 


NEW  YORK  AS  A  WINTER  RESORT.  5 

for  it  on  an  original  plan,  and  if  a  stranger 
glancing  through  these  pages  will  take  the 
trouble  to  open  the  map  and  keep  it  in  front 
of  him  as  he  reads,  he  will  no  doubt  be  able 
to  obtain  a  very  clear  idea  of  the  localities 
mentioned  and  lines  of  communication 
between  different  parts  of  the  city. 

Manhattan  Island  is  a  narrow  strip  of 
land  sixteen  miles  long  by  two  and  one-half 
miles  at  its  widest  point,  having  a  total 
area  of  about  twenty-two  square  Manhattan 
miles  or  13,463  acres.  It  is  ISLAND, 
bounded  on  the  north  by  the  Harlem 
River,  on  the  south  by  New  York  Bay,  on 
the  east  by  the  East  River  and  Long  Island 
Sound,  and  on  the  west  by  the  Hudson  or 
North  River. 

Within  this  area  is  embraced  the  social 
and  business  life  of  the  metropolis  of  the 
Western  World  :  all  of  its  great  financial 
and  mercantile  institutions  ;  its  grand  hotels 
and  amusement  palaces  ;  churches  and  the 
homes  of  the  wealthy  ;  the  tenement  dis- 
trict ;  the  foreign  quarters  and  the  slums. 

The  homes  of  the  great  middle  class  are 
found  in  the  "  annexed  district  " — that  por- 
tion of  the  city  lying  north  of  the  Harlem 
and  extending  into  Westchester  County  to 
the  city  lines  of  Yonkers  and  Mount  Vernon. 

Means  of  transportation  throughout  the 
city  are  ample  and  excellent,  there  being 
four  lines  of  elevated  railways,  besides 
numerous  cable,  electric  and  horse  car  lines.

PUBLIC  PARKS. 

The  park  system  of  New  York,  when  fully 
developed,  will  be  the  most  magnificent  in 
the  world,  and  rank  among  the  chief  feat- 
ures of  the  greatest  city  of  modern  times. 
In  the  main  part  of  the  city  is  Central 
Park,  the  most  beautiful  of  the  city's  play- 
grounds. It  covers  an  area  of  840  acres, 
and  has  cost  up  to  the  present  time  over 
815,000,000.  Morningside  Park  of  thirty- 
two  acres  and  Riverside  Park  of  178  acres,

the  latter  overlooking  the  Hudson  River 
for  nearly  three  miles,  are  also  on  Man- 
hattan Island,  in  addition  to  numerous 
smaller  parks  and  squares  scattered  through- 
out the  city. 

North  of  the  Harlem  River  we  have  the 
following  : 


Van  Cortlandt  Park, 
Bronx  Park, 
Crotona  Park,

Claremont  Park,

A  grand  chain  of  parkways  connecting

of  the  scheme. 


HOTELS. 

In  the  number  and  luxurious  character 
of  its  hotels  New  York  is  easily  first  among 
all  the  cities  of  the  world.  The  hotels 
erected  within  the  last  few  years,  besides 
being  palatial  in  their  appointments,  are 
marvels  of  constructive  skill  and  architect- 
ural design.  In  fact,  New  York  is  justly 
proud  of  her  hotels,  and  they  are  the 
wonder  and  admiration  of  strangers. 

No  visit  to  the  metropolis  would  be  quite 
complete  that  did  not   include  a  dinner 
between  6.00  and  8.00  at  either  the  Wal- 
dorf, Delmonico's,  The  Hoff-  DELIQHTFUL 
man  House  or  The  Holland.   PLACES  TO 
There   are   a  score    of   other  DINE- 
hotels  where  the  appointments  are  superb, 
and  a  most  delightful  dinner  can  be  had, 
but  each  of  the  four  above-mentioned  has 
its  own  peculiar  attractions. 

The  New  York  hotels  are  conducted 
upon  either  the  American  or  European 
plan,  or  both.  When  run  on  the  American 
plan,  the  rate  by  the  day  includes  the 
charge  for  both  room  and  meals;  on  the 
European  plan  the  daily  rate  is  for  the 
room  only,  and  meals  are  a  separate  item.

RESTAURANTS. 

New  York  likes  to  dine  out,  and  to  this 
general  trait  is  no  doubt  due  the  develop- 
ment of  a  restaurant  system  which  has  no

d'hotes  abound,  and  every  variety  of  foreign 
and  domestic  cooking  may  be  had.

THEATRES. 

In  the  evening  all  New  York  goes  to  the 
theatre,  and  consequently  these  temples  of 
amusement  are  numerous  and  varied  enough 
to  suit  all  tastes  and  all  purses.  There  are 
over  forty  legitimate  theatres  in  New  York, 
having  a  seating  capacity  of  about  60,000. 
The  museums,  concert  halls,  lecture  rooms 
etc.,  will  easily  accommodate  20,000  more. 
Even  with  this  total  the  supply  does  not 
exceed  the  demand.  It  is  said  that  over 
S6, 000, 000  is  spent  every  year  in  New  York 
for  amusements  of  this  character.

Street,  you  will  have  traced  the  boundaries 
of  the  great  retail  shopping  district  of  New 
York,  the  equal  of  which  exists  in  no  other 
city  in  America.  Here  you  can  find  the 
perfection  of  everything;  and  what  cannot 
be  found  here  cannot  be  found  in  any  shop- 
ping district  anywhere.  Miles  upon  miles 
of  plate  glass  windows  line  your  path,  dis- 
playing everything  imaginable  in  dry  goods, 
furniture,  decorations,  wearing  apparel, 
jewelry,  precious  stones,  art,  books,  music, 
stationery.  The  endless  procession  of  gaily 
dressed  shoppers  is  not  the  least  interest- 
ing feature  of  the  pageant. 

In  our  limited  space  we  cannot  give  any- 
thing like  a  complete  list  of  the  famous

POINTS  OF  INTEREST  YOU 
SHOULD  NOT  FAIL  TO  SEE. 

i. 


GRAND  CENTRAL  STATION,   NEW  YORK. 


A  NOTE  OF  EXPLANATION 

"870,"  "903"  and  "999"  are  the  three  most  cele- 
brated locomotives  ever  built.  They  haul  the  New  York 
Central's  Empire  State  Express,  the  fastest  train  in  the 
world,  in  its  daily  flight  across  the  Empire  State  from  the 
ocean  to  the  great  lakes  and  Niagara  Falls. 

± 

APPROACHING  New  York  by  the  New 
York  Central  &  Hudson  River  Rail- 
road, you  leave  the  Hudson  River  at  Spuyten 
Duyvil,and  follow  the  course  of  the  Harlem 
River  and  the  great  Harlem  Ship  Canal, 
passing  under  the  Washington  Bridge  and 
High  Bridge,  opposite  the  new  Speedway, 
then  under  McComb's  Dam  Bridge.  From 
this  point  the  Harlem  Plains  extend  to 
138th  Street,  where  is  located  the  uptown 
station  in  New  York  of  the  New  York  Cen- 
tral.   A  steel  viaduct  is  being  constructed 


NEW  YORK  AS  A  WINTER  RESORT.  2g 

from  this  point  with  a  new  swing  bridge 
crossing  the  Harlem  River,  and  extending 
through  Park  Avenue  to  106th  Street. 
When  completed  this  will  be  the  only 
four-track  swing  bridge  in  the  world. 
From  this  magnificent  steel  roadway  a 
far-reaching  view  is  obtained  of  many 
of  the  most  celebrated  features  of  the 
metropolis. 

Beginning  with  the  Grant 
Mausoleum  in  Riverside  Park, 
which  overlooks  the  Hudson 
from  a  height  of  350  feet,  the 
eye  will  next  take  in  Barnard 
College,  the  Woman's  Annex  to 
Columbia,  now  being  erected  on 
1 20th  Street,  the  eastern  wing 
resting  on  the  Boulevard  and 
the  western  on  Riverside  Drive. 
Immediately  below,  in  the  square 
bounded  by  the  Boulevard  and 
Amsterdam  Avenue  and  116th 
and  1 20th  Streets,  are  going  up

Two  blocks  south  rise  the 
marble  walls  of  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  over 
which  will  stand  against  the  sky  a  marble 
dome.  The  hospital  occupies  the  block 
bounded  by  114th  and  113th  Streets,  Morn- 
ingside  and  Amsterdam  Avenues.  Directly 
south  will  be  the  Cathedral  of  St.  John  the 
Divine,  designed  by  Lafarge.  The  corner

but  it  will  be  several  years  before  it  is  com 
pleted.  For  stateliness  and  beauty  it  will 
rank  among  the  great  ecclesiastical  build- 
ings of  the  world.  The  Cathedral,  with 
the  grounds  around  it,  will  be  bounded  by 
noth  and  113th  Streets,  Morningside  Ave- 
nue and  Amsterdam  Avenue. 

Of  the  buildings  mentioned  the  Teachers' 
College  is  already  built,  the  Cathedral, 
Columbia  College  and  St.  Luke's  Hos- 
pital are  in  process  of  construction,  and 
Barnard  College  will  be  begun  early  in  the 
spring.  When  all  of  these  structures 
are  ready  for  dedication  fourteen  million 
dollars  will  have  been  spent  in  buildings  on 
the  plateau  bounded  on  the  south  by  noth 
Street,  on  the  north  by  12 2d  Street,  on  the 
east  by  Morningside  Park,  and  on  the 
west  by  Riverside  Drive,  and  the  collection

making  connections  for  the  extreme  south- 
ern part  of  the  city  and  Brooklyn,  as  well 
as  the  northern  part  of  the  city.  The  cars 
of  the  Fourth  Avenue  surface  railroad  also

leave  from  Grand  Central  Station  and  run 
down  Fourth  Avenue  through  the  Bowery 
to  City  Hall  and  the  Post-Office.  The 
Forty-second  Street  surface  lines  pass  in 
front  of  the  station,  and  cross  every  north 
and  south  line  of  surface,  as  well  as  ele- 
vated railroad.  The  Boulevard  cars  pass 
in  front  of  Grand  Central  Station  on  Forty- 
second  Street,  running  west  to  Seventh 
Avenue,  thence  to  the  north  end  of  the 
Boulevard  and  Fort  Lee  Ferry.  The  Madi-

Avenue  to  the  uptown  station  of  the  New 
York  Central  at  138th  Street  (Mott  Haven). 
Another  line  of  cars  leaves  in  front  of 
Grand  Central  Station  for  the  34th  and  23d 
Street  ferries  on  the  east  side,  and  crosses 
to  the  steamship  docks  and  Hoboken  and 
Jersey  City  ferries  on  the  west  side. 

Grand  Central  Station  is  the  only 
trunk  line  railroad  station  in  the  city 
of  New  York,  and  in  itself  is  one  of 
the  sights  of  the  metropolis. 

Broadway,  which  starts  from  Bowling 
Green,  is  one  of  the  longest  and  grand- 
est business  streets  in  the  world.  It  is 
the  main  business  artery  of  the  city, 
and  extends  north  about  five  miles  to 
59th  Street,  where  it  merges  into  the 
Boulevard,  and  under  that  name  con- 
tinues on  for  nine  miles  farther,  when 
it  resumes  the  name  of  Broadway,  and 
forms  the  main  thoroughfare  through 
Yonkers,  Irvington,  Tarrytown,  Sing

architecturally  one  of  the  finest  buildings 
in  the  city,  and  the  largest  building  in 
America  devoted  entirely  to  amusements, 
faces  the  northeast  corner  of  Madison

The  American  Museum  of  Natural  His-

8th  Avenue,  was  incorporated 
in   1869.      In   birds,  animals, 
shells,  fossils,  insects,  minerals 
and  implements  of  the  aborigines 
of  our  own  and  foreign  lands,  the  collec- 
tions are  extremely  rich  and  noteworthy. 

The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  in 
Central  Park,  near  Fifth  Avenue  and  82d

INTERESTING  TRIPS  ABOUT 
TOWN. 

ATRIP  over  the  principal  Elevated  Rail- 
way, surface  and  stage  lines  of  the 
metropolis  should  not  be  omitted. 

Three  distinct  cable  lines  run  up  Broad- 
way. The  first  is  the  Broadway  line,  which 
extends  on  Broadway  from  South  Ferry  to 
45th  Street,  thence  on  Seventh  Avenue  to 
59th  Street  and  Central  Park.  Transfers 
may  be  made  at  various  points  without  ad- 
ditional charge  to  lines  running  to  all  of 
the  principal  ferries,  Brooklyn  Bridge  and 
Harlem. 

The  second  cable  line  is  the  Columbus 
Avenue  line,  extending  on  Broadway  from 
South  Ferry  to  45th  Street;  thence  on 
Seventh  Avenue  to  53d  Street,  COLUMBUS 
West  53d  Street  to  Ninth  or  AVENUE 
Columbus  Avenue  ;  thence  north  CABLE« 
to  109th  Street,  where  connection  is  made 
with  the  Lenox  Avenue  Underground  Elec- 
tric Line,  which  crosses  over  from  Colum- 
bus Avenue  through  11 6th  Street  to  Lenox 
Avenue,  and  runs  north  on  Lenox  Avenue 
to  146th  Street  and  the  Harlem  River. 

The  same  transfers  by  the  Columbus 
Avenue  Line  as  by  the  Broadway  Cable  Line. 

The  Lenox  Avenue  Line  is  called  the 
'*  Underground  Electric."     It  is  not  an

ELECTRIC.  through  a  slot  similar  to 

the  cable  line.  This  is  one  of  the  first  lines 
of  the  kind  operated  in  the  United  States, 
and  it  is  said  that,  if  it  proves  a  success 
during  this  winter,  something  of  this  char- 
acter will  doubtless  be  applied  to  most 
surface  roads  in  the  metropolis. 

The  third  cable  line  on  Broadway  is  the 
Lexington  Avenue  road,  which  runs  from 
South  Ferry  to  23d  Street,  passing  east  on 

2^d  Street  to  Lexington  Avenue,

Street  one  block  from  Grand  Central  Sta- 
tion of  the  New  York  Central.  At  11 6th 
Street  it  has  a  branch  line  for  the  Lenox 
Avenue,  connecting  the  Lexington  with  the 
Lenox  Line  and  the  western  part  of  the  city. 

The  Lexington  Avenue  Cable  Line  affords 
one  of  the  most  interesting  rides  in  the 
entire  eastern  part  of  the  continent.  It  is 
more  like  the  famous  lines  of  San  Francisco 
than  any  other  cable  road  in  the  United 
States.  The  ride  over  the  hills  on  this  line 
will  be  a  revelation  to  all  those  who  have 
not  taken  it. 

It  will  be  an  interesting  experience  to 
board  a  Belt  Line  car  at  South  Ferry  and 
ride  over  the  entire  route,  up  on 

BELT  LINE,  the  west  side  and  down  on  the 
east  side  of  the  city,  back  to  your  starting 
point. 

This  route  will  take  you  through  White-

Matinees  Every  Wednesday  and.  Saturday  at  2.00 


Broadway  and  39U1  Street. 


In  closing  the  Casino  to  the  public  early  in  the  present  winter — the 
very  cream  of  one  of  the  most  auspicious  and  eventful  periods  in 
recent  theatrical  history — Canary  &  Lederer  but  set  aside  a  selfish 
interest,  at  great  personal  cost  and  almost  interminable  confusion,  in 
order  that  the  general  confidence  in  the  security  of  the  Casino  should 
be  the  more  firmly  impressed  upon  the  lar^e  body  of  its  patrons. 

Though  no  question  had  ever  arisen  that  reflected  on  the  facilities 
of  the  Casino,  there  was,  however,  a  sweeping  desire  that  all  amuse- 
ment resorts,  of  whatsoever  character  or  repute,  should  be  so  remodel- 
ed and  equipped  as  to  conform  to  the  lines  of  advanced  architecture 
and  to  the  requirements  of  the  Building  Department,  which  then  and 
still  commands  the  respect  of  the  public. 

The  suggestions  for  the  improvement  of  the  Casino  which  were 
submitted  by  the  Building  Department  to  Canary  &  Lederer  were 
not  all  imperative  of  observance,  yet  were  unhesitatingly  applauded 
by  the  latter  and  at  once  put  into  execution,  as  much  from  a  spirit  of 
enterprise  as  from  a  motive  of  approval. 

What  was  to  be  well  done  should  be  done  quickly. 

Accordingly  immediate  steps  were  taken  to  cancel  pending  en- 
gagements and  make  suitable  disposition  of  the  extensive  force  cf 
attachees  for  the  interval  of  reconstruction. 

It  is  now  with  pardonable  pride  that  Canary  &  Lederer  claim  that 
all  suggested  improvements  have  been  accomplished  far  more  effect- 
ively than  either  the  Building  Department  or  themselves  had  the  least 
reason  to  anticipate.  The  modifications  to  which  the  Casino  has  been 
subjected  have  enhanced  its  value  as  a  structure  and  its  interest  as 
an  amusement  resort.  The  assuring  distinction  of  being  now  abso- 
lutely fireproof  has  become  an  indelibly  added  feature  of  the  peren- 
nially attractive  Casino.  The  interior  alterations  principally  affected 
that  portion  of  the  edifice  behind  the  scenes.  Iron  and  adamant 
plaster  have  been  substituted  for  all  woodwork,  and  an  asbestos  cur- 
tain has  been  hung  in  place  of  the  former  elaborately  ornamental  one. 
Certain  aisles  have  also  been  widened  and  exits  enlarged.  Massive, 
capacious  fire  escapes  have  likewise  been  erected  on  the  Broadway 
and  39th  Street  fronts  of  the  house,  notwithstanding  the  presence  of 
those  which  were  originally  applied  when  the  building  was  first  con- 
ceived. 

As  the  attraction  with  which  to  open  the  new  year  Canary  & 
Lederer  announce  that  they  have  arranged  with  Mr.  T.  Henry  French 
for  the  exclusive  rights  in  this  country  of  "The  Lady  Slavey,"  the 
current  rage  in  the  British  Empire,  and  will  present  the  same  at  the 
Casino  with  what  will  be  unequivocally  admitted  the  most  ambitious 
cast  with  which  any  similar  work  has  ever  been  undertaken  in  the  his- 
tory of  lyric  comedy.

Grand  Union  Hotel, 

Opposite  the  Grand  Central  Station, 
New  York. 


[Reprinted  from  "  King's  Handbook  of  New  York  City."] 

The  Grand  Union  Hotel  (European  Plan)  is  located  at  Fourth 
Avenue  and  426.  Street,  just  across  the  street  from  the  Grand  Central 
Station.  It  is  architecturally  unassuming,  but  it  is  very  large,  its 
dimensions  being  200  by  135  feet.  It  contains  over  500  sleeping  rooms, 
and  does  the  largest  business  of  any  hotel  in  New  York  in  respect  to 
the  number  of  guests  entertained.  The  features  which  first  strike 
the  visitor  to  the  hotel  are  its  cleanliness  and  quaintness,  and  an  air 
of  home  comfort  which  is  lacking  in  many  hotels. 


Simeon  Ford,  the  senior  proprietor,  having  been  asked  to  account 
for  the  continued  and  growing  success  of  the  Grand  Union,  in  spite 
of  the  building  of  many  new  and  elegant  hotels,  said:  "  In  the  first 
place,  we  have  a  location  which,  for  transient  business,  is  unique. 
We  are  just  across  the  street  from  the  Grand  Central  Station,  and 
travelers,  instead  of  having  to  struggle  with  hackmen  and  express- 
men, can  step  across  to  our  house,  and  we  deliver  their  baggage  in 
their  rooms  in  a  few  minutes  without  charge.  Then  again  we  have 
a  moderate-priced  house.  We  give  a  nice  room  for  a  dollar  a  day, 
but,  if  people  want  to  pay  more,  we  have  handsome  suites  which  cost 
four  or  five  dollars  a  day.  Our  food  is  of  the  best  quality  obtainable, 
and  well  cooked;  and  we  don't  ask  enough  for  it  to  bankrupt  a  man. 
We  are  cranks  on  the  subject  of  cleanliness.  We  are  eternally  scrub- 
bing and  mopping.  Then  again  we  are  within  easy  distance  of  all 
the  best  shops  and  theatres.  But,  above  all,  we  attribute  our  success 
to  the  fact  that  we  try  to  take  good  care  of  our  guests  and  make  them 
feel  at  home,  and  we  try  our  best  to  impress  upon  our  employees  that 
we  get  our  living  out  of  the  traveling  public,  and  that  they  are 
entitled  to  some  consideration,  and  when  our  employees  do  not  agree 
with  us  on  this  point  we  ask  them  to  '  seek  fresh  fields  and  pastures 
new '."

:\  Kpmpmtrixnce  of  Jenny  kind 


IN  NEW  YORK, 


WITH  A  BRIEF  HISTORY  or 


Broadway  Central  Hotel 


ON  part  of  the  site  now  occupied  In  this  great  hotel,  at 
667  to  077  Broadway,  opposite  Bond  Street,  was  once 
Tripler  Hall,  built  in  1849,  where   immense  au- 
diences listened  to  a  voice  perhaps  never  since  equaled  for 
purity  and  volume. 

I  t  was  here  that  the  world-famous  Jenny  Lind  achieved 
her  great  American  triumphs,  and  what  Mr.  Haynes,  the 
new  proprietor,  has  now  made  his  grand  dining  hall  was  a 
portion  of  the  great  audience  hall,  in  which  the  divine 
songstress  thrilled  fashionable  New  York  with  her  wonderful 
powers  forty  years  ago. 

The  first  hotel  was  built  here  in  1856.  This  was  suc- 
ceeded in  1869  by  a  new  building,  which  was  at  that  time 
the  palace  hotel  of  New  York.  This  immense  structure, 
built  in  the  most  substantial  manner,  at  a  cost  of  nearlv 
S2, 000, 000,  was  long  and  familiarly  known  as  the  Grand 
Central.  Mr.  Tilly  Haynes,  the  well-known  proprietor  of 
the  United  States  Hotel,  Boston,  secured  control  of  the 
property  a  few  years  ago,  and  at  once  set  about  the  work  of 
rejuvenation  on  a  scale  that  made  people  stare  and  wonder. 

To  begin  with,  he  changed  the  name  of  the  hotel  to 
"  Broadway  Central,"  which  is  descriptive  in  a  double  sense. 
Both  inside  and  out  the  work  of  reconstruction  was  carried 
on.  For  a  hundred  days  the  pay-roll  for  laborers  alone  was 
Si, 000  per  day,  for  Mr.  Haynes  has  torn  out  and  remodeled 
the  interior  according  to  his  ideas  of  what  a  hotel  should 
be,  and  to-day  it  is  the  model  hotel  of  New  York. 

The  hotel  is  conducted  on  both  the  European  and 
American  plans.  On  the  European  Plan  the  rates  range 
from  $1. 00  upward,  and  on  the  American  Plan  from  $2.50 
upwards.  Exceedingly  advantageous  arrangements  can  be 
made  by  large  parties  and  permanent  guests. 

The  moderate  schedule  of  prices  which  prevails  goes 
with  the  very  best  service  and  supplies  obtainable,  the 
combination  of  moderate  rates  and  excellence  being  made 
possible  by  the  large  capacity  of  the  house. 

A  glance  at  the  map  in  the  front  of  this  book  will  show 
that  the  hotel  is  central  indeed.  It  is  midway  between 
Grand  Central  Station  and  the  lower  ferries,  and  by  means 
of  the  cable  line  is  directly  accessible  from  every  point  of 
arrival . 

Mr.  Haynes  also  publishes  a  map  expressly  for  his 
guests,  which  will  be  found  a  valuable  guide  to  the  city. 
Intending  visitors  should  write  to  Mr.  Haynes  for  a  copy.

ANY  one  strolling  leisurely  up  Fifth  Avenue  cannot  fail  to  be 
impressed  with  the  many  and  rapid  changes  going  on  among 
the  houses  of  that  much  frequented  thoroughfare.  Especially 
is  this  to  be  observed  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  Park,  where  some 
of  the  more  costly  houses  are  gradually  giving  way  to  buildings  of  a 
different  nature.    Notably  among  the  class  is

commend  it  to  the  thoughtful  consideration  of  families  seeking  com- 
fort and  luxury  combined  with  quiet  elegance.  These  advantages, 
coupled  with  the  enviable  reputation  The  Langham  enjoys  under  the 
able  and  successful  management  of  H.  C.  Shannon,  for  the  high 
standard  of  its  cuisine  and  the  unremitting  care  and  attention  to  the

HOTELS    in   New    York   City   change    hands  frequently. 
Strange  faces,  new  management,  and  new  methods  seem 
to  take  away  from  them  the  comfortable,  homelike  at- 
mosphere to  which  the  traveler  has  become  accustomed.  Here 
and  there,  however,  there  are  successful  establishments  which 
continue  to  hold  their  own  under  the  same  management. 

The  St  Denis 

Is  a  hotel  of  this  character,  and  under  the  direction  of  its  old-time 
proprietor,  William  Taylor,  continues  one  of  the  most  pleasant 
and  attractive  hotels  in  the  city. 

It- is  located  corner  of  Broadway  and  Eleventh  Street,  directly 
opposite  Grace  Church,  in  the  centre  of  the  city.  The  Brcadway 
Cable  Cars  pass  the  door,  affording  quick  transit  either  up  or 
down  town.  For  families  as  well  as  business  men  it  is  most  con- 
venient. Accommodations  are  ample  for  a  large  number  of  guests 
and  the  service  prompt  and  unobtrusive.  The  menu  is  most 
elaborate,  both  in  American  and  French  cookery.  In  season  and 
out  of  season  there  is  nothing  wanting  to  tempt  or  satisfy  the 
most  exacting  epicure  or  accomplished  bon  vivant.
